Experts report that, by 2020, more than 50% of the entire U.S. workforce will be non-employees. The fastest growing portion of this extended workforce consists of independent contactors, a talent pool that is expected to grow to 24 million workers by 2018. Tapping these resources is a business priority, but also could present serious compliance risks. During this session, you will learn about the statutory framework surrounding independent contractor status and the potential risks and impacts of worker misclassification, as illustrated by recent legal decisions and other developments. You will also learn about ways to mitigate this risk and access active, growing networks of highly skilled independent contractors to supplement your workforce.
